Chapter 13: Reunions
Jaden was bored sitting around feeling helpless so he left Bastion and Chumley to explore the town without him after they
had lunch.Jaden wanted to wander about by himself and re-think the situation.
'I wonder how Syrus is doing back at the Academy, I hope he's ok,' Jaden thought as he walked across a small bridge.
There he saw a little girl, about 9 years old, wearing a light blue dress pull something out of her pocket and throw it over the
edge of the bridge. Jaden walked up to take a closer look, that's when he realized a bunch of duel cards fluttered out of her
hand and landed down into the river below and was about to be swept up by the slow moving current.
"Hey, hey what are you doing!" Jaden shouted. 'Is that girl crazy! Why is she throwing away good dueling cards away?'
Jaden ran around the edge of the bridge and slid down the grassy slope and jumped into the river without thinking to save
the duel cards like they were about to drown.
"What are you doing?" she yelled at Jaden who was waddling around in the water trying to collect as many duel cards as he
could. With his determination and speed he was able to collect all the cards without letting them slip past him, all 50 of them!
"Hey mister what are you doing! Leave my cards alone!" she yelled at him again.
"Are you nuts throwing away your dueling cards like that? What's the matter with you?" he yelled. By this time she ran
around the bridge as well and stood on the bank as Jaden waddled out of the water soaking wet from head to toe, but he
proudly held up her dueling cards.
"Hey little girl you should be more careful with these," Jaden said handing her back her cards.
"I don't want them," she yelled at him puffing her round cheeks in anger. She had black hair that was cut at chin length but
two tuffs of hair in front of her ears were a bit longer than the back.
"Huh why not?" Jaden asked.
By this time the tears were streaming down the girl's face as she struggled not cry.
"Huh what's wrong?" Jaden asked bending over a bit to her.
"I.. I..I can't.." she sobbed as she wiped the tears from her face with both of her hands.
"Aw don't cry, it'll be ok" Jaden smiled at her.
"I don't want my cards any more.. they are too weak" she managed to sputter out.
"Huh what are you talking about?" Jaden said shuffling through her cards. "You have plenty of good cards here, pot of
greed, oh and wow you have 3 polymerization cards"
"No they aren't," she sniffled again.
'Huh? Who is this girl?' Jaden thought
------
"I have no idea what you're talking about Mr. Sameshima," Keiko told the principal of the Dueling Academy from across
her office desk.
"I'm telling you, your students infiltrated our school and stole our data and erased it from our databank I've come to reclaim
it, if you peaceful give us back out files we won't press charges against the school," the principal said as he rose from his
seat.
They were sitting in Keiko's office discussing the matter that Mr. Sameshima had presented to her. Keiko had long straight
black hair that was tied back in an elegant bow, and she looked as if she was in her 30s.
"Oh is that so? What proof do you have we did it?" she asked resting her elbows on her desk, linking her fingers together in
a thoughtful way.
"I demand to speak to Megumi, where's your sister?"
"I'm afraid she's no longer in charge of the school,"
"What?" Mr. Sameshima's eyes widened in shock.
"Yes she has permanently resigned, I'm in charge of the school now and I'm afraid you're making an outrageous
accusation," she said casually.
"Listen to me!"
"Good day Mr. Sameshima," she said dismissingly.
He grumbled in protest but she threatened to call in security to kick him out, he had no other choice but to leave. She was
right they had no proof their students had infiltrated their school, so he had no case to make.
When he left a smirk came over her face, she was satisfied but still a bit concerned.
"Kaylee," she called, and from behind one of the doors near her office Kaylee stepped out in her a uniform that was similar
to Jessica's but the color was a light blue color with a grayish tint.
"You girl's did a pretty good job but it seems you might have left a little crumb or two behind, she said.
Kaylee stood beside Keiko and said in a flat tone,
"Yes, I'm afraid Jessica and Bliss got a little bit too close with some of the students,"
"Oh really, Bliss has proven herself loyal to the school but I have a bad feeling about Jessica,"
"Why?"
"I noticed some boys came to our school today, they were with her"
"What did they look like,"
"One had short brown hair and the other had black hair that was neatly cut and one just looked like a koala…" she sweat-
dropped at the last description.
"Hmm brown hair… black hair… I think they might be the guys from the Academy but I'm not sure," Kaylee said placing
her hand under her chin thoughtfully.
"Well I want to see Jessica, as for Bliss I want you to keep an eye on her too as well I think those two might turn against
us." Keiko said standing up and walking towards the window looking down at the school grounds which was empty since
most of the students were in their dorms or at class.
"After all us girls have a dueling pride to uphold and no fascist school is going to get the best of us,"
------
"So.. you're studying to be a duelist too?" Jaden said to the little girl as they sat together on the river bank.
"Not anymore I'm not," she pouted again.
"I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself I'm Jaden, Jaden Yuki what's your name?"
"Oh I'm Rika," she said wiping another tear away again.
"Now tell me what's going on?"
"All the other kids at school make fun of me cause I play duel monsters,"
"Why?"
"Cause I'm one of the youngest kids that play duel monsters and all the other kids beat me at it, I wanna be a duelist, I really
want to, but I've never won a match in my life and no matter how hard I try I can't, I might as well just give up,"
"How can you talk like that, you don't just wake up one morning and bam you're an expert duelist you need to practice and
study really hard at it. Besides you should be happy every time you lose," Jaden smiled.
"Be happy when I lose… why?"
"Cause every game you play is a new experience and you get better from experiences and you learn from your mistakes, so
you shouldn't sweat it," Jaden grinned at Rika who just looked up at him in admiration.
"Do you really think I can be a good duelist some day?"
"Sure you will and I bet all those people who beat you before will be amazed when you come back and defeat them,"
Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she looked at Jaden "Thank you,"
"I know how about a duel!"
"Wha.. wha with me but you're a much older and experience duelist than I am!" she stuttered.
"So what? A duel is a duel no matter who you duel with, let's just do one for fun,"
"Rika there you are!" someone called to them from a bridge. It was a woman in her early 30s dressed casually in a collared
shirt and skirt that reached her knees.
"Rika are you playing with those stupid cards again!" she yelled.
"Oh no it's my mom," Rika mumbled clutching her duel cards
Rika and Jaden went up to the bridge to greet Rika's mother who didn't look mad but more frustrated.
"Rika what are you doing over here, I thought you were going over by a friend's house, I'm always worrying about you,"
after she gently scolded Rika she noticed Jaden.
"Who are you?" she asked politely.
"Oh my name is Jaden Yuki," he bowed politely.
Suddenly it seemed as though a wave of shock swept over the woman she stared blankly at Jaden as if she'd seen a ghost.
"Mom," Rika tugged on her mom's shirt to snap her out of she surprise.
"Oh yea.. did you say your last name is Yuki?" she inquired again.
"Yes mam'" Jaden replied feeling a bit nervous.
"Is your father, Kounichi Yuki?"
"Um.. yes it is Mam' do you know him?" Jaden asked smiling at her.
The woman looked as if she was about pass out.
"Are you ok mom? What's wrong?" Rika pressed.
She pulled Rika in front of her to face Jaden and she said in an aloof tone.
"Rika… I think.. this is your.. step-brother,"
-----
"Hey Bliss how are you doing?" a bunch of girls yelled to the short blonde.
"Oh hey guys," Bliss waved smiling at her fellow classmates as she walked around the courtyard. It was late that evening and
it wasn't the best weather outside; it was very cloudy and grey and rain threatened to fall. Bliss had a break between two of
her classes, so she was just strolling around campus thoughtfully about. The girls that greeted Bliss ran up to meet her, they
were all dress in red.
"Hey Bliss how are you?"
"Oh I'm doing fine," she lied.
They decided walked with her, even though deep inside Bliss just wanted to be alone for awhile. They walked along the
school's tall metal fence that ran along the whole school and 2 blocks away from that fence was the main town.
"Oh my gosh, you won't believe this Bliss," one of the girls said
"What?" Bliss asked not even looking at her.
"There is this weird dorky looking guy wondering outside the school,"
"Maybe he's a stalker creepy,"
"Oh big deal guys always hang around the school hoping to pick up a pretty looking duelist,"
"Yea, pfft well he looks like a nerd, he's definitely not picking up any girls around here not with a hair-do like that,"
"Major disaster, not to mention he's short,"
"Oh look there he is, look look Bliss," one of the girl's pointed out.
"Huh?" she looked up and followed the girl's finger to a figure walking around the fence on the sidewalk.
He looked up and his eyes widened when he saw Bliss.
"What do you think Bliss, not all that huh?"
"He better try his luck somewhere else," another chuckled
"Sy..rus" she mutterer under her breath.
"Huh?" they all said.
"Bliss! Bliss!" Syrus waved to her from behind the fence.
"Bliss do you know that guys?" the girls asked in shock.
"Bliss! It's me! Bliss we need to talk please come over," he pleaded.
'What in the hell is he doing here! Did he come all this way just to see me, what an idiot' Bliss thought. Suddenly it started to
drizzle a bit; the rain was preparing to fall.
"Bliss?" one of girl's iquired again.
"Nope never seen him before," Bliss said coldly turning away from Syrus and waking back into the school.
"Oh..?" the other girls said following behind her taking one last look at Syrus who was clutching the elegant metal bars on the
fence.
"No… this can't be happening, Bliss, come back, come back Bliss," Syrus muttered softly in shock. Students began
flocking back inside the building to shelter from the rain that was pouring a bit heavier now. Syrus just stood there, in the rain, his heart felt heavy, all he could do was watch as Bliss turned her back on him, again.
